Homework Statement



give an example of functions f and g, both continuous at x=0, for which the composite f(g(x)) is discontinuous at x=0. Does this contradict the sandwich theorem? Give reasons for your answer.

The Attempt at a Solution


I understand the sandwich theorem, but I don't understand how I can just make up these functions! :confused:

If f(g(x)) is discontinuous, what can we say about f(x) or g(x)?
 
I really want to say that one of the functions, either f(x) or G(x) is also discontinuous at a certain point. But not at x=0.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
